  • Feral Pigs - Wild Boars - Wild Pigs Good luck trying to control these pests. Most sources recommend hunting, trapping or fencing as a way to reduce the chance of pigs damaging your lawn or garden. However, none of these approaches will completely eradicate the problem. Boars reproduce quickly and are determined foragers.
